hemp protein

Protein powders have been used for years as a quick and convenient way to meet personal protein goals. Whether you use a protein supplement for bulking up, losing weight, or saving time, there are a plethora of options when it comes to protein powders. 

While Whey has dominated the industry for the past few decades, plant-based proteins like soy, pea, hemp, and rice have grown in popularity.  But how do these stack up against animal-based proteins?

• Hemp (27:37)
• Whey/Casein (33:29)

Should we be eating less meat? Meat has been demonized for years, but Muscle-Centric Medicine practitioner Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is PRO-MEAT and recommends high-quality protein diets, supplements, and resistance training to optimize skeletal muscle. In this episode, she shares how she believes that muscle is the organ of longevity (and may be the most underappreciated organ that we have), how best to lower cholesterol, the importance of amino acids, the amount of protein you should consume daily - and what that looks like on your plate.
